Give us your views
We want to hear from you.
The views of local people and organisations help shape our proposals and recommendations.
Just tell us what you think and why you think that.
We review the electoral and boundary arrangements of councils to make sure they are fair. Our reviews include at least two rounds of public consultation before we make recommendations for change.
We are carrying out an electoral review of Cumberland at the request of the Council.

| 26 November 2024 - 24 February 2025 | We carry out an initial public consultation on communities |
| 1 July - 8 September 2025 | We carry out a public consultation on our proposals |
| 3 February 2026 | We publish our recommendations |
| TBD | We ask Parliament to approve our recommendations |
| May 2027 | New arrangements apply to local elections |
